[QUOTE="ken-ichi, post: 2844166, member: 20061"] I was just annoyed by the complaints about things which are false or contradictory. * XP system - Arbitrary and needlessly complex. The DM should assign XP as he or she feels, not as the rules dictate. So he wants a less arbitrary system by replacing any guidelines with a completely arbitrary system that varies by DM? *Two Weapon Fighting - Historically speaking, two weapon fighting was another method of defense, just like using a shield. It was also employed as a method of disarming opponents and confusing enemies. But never was it used as blatantly attacking an opponent like one would do with two fists. Drittz did it, therefore I can too. What about Musashi's famous two-sword style of fighting. Definitely an offensive style. *Druid - nature boys are suddenly religious too? Does the poster actually know anything about the druidic religion? *Item creation feats - Why should I waste a feat and XP when I can just buy the item for the same price? Totally inacurate. Crafted items cost you 1/2 the gold as purchasing one does. It also removes the necessity to be at a location where you can shop for the item you are looking for. *Full Plate - -6 Armor check penalty? And Full Plate is one size fits all? +1 max dex bonus? Last time I checked, all full plate must be custom made to fit a specific body type, and because the plates work so well together, people can do acrobatics while in full plate. Full Plate is one size fits all. It must be resized for a different wearer. Many vague statements and IMO not true assumptions. A few redeeming things that I actually agree with. Grappling rules for instance. But, if you are going to rant at least know your facts. Rating: 2/5 Nice try, but not even close. [/QUOTE]
